Grand jury looking at triple shooting in taxi

Evidence in a triple shooting involving a taxi driver and his two passengers earlier this month is being referred to a Harris County grand jury without charges, police said today.

Police called to the 6900 block of Bissonnet about 2:20 a.m. Nov. 11 found a Fiesta taxi driver shot in the arm, and two of his passengers shot in the chest.

One of the passengers, 23-year-old Javier Muniz of the 6900 block of Bissonnet, died from his wound.

Investigators said they were given conflicting statements about the shootings, but it appeared the cab driver had fired a weapon and also had been wounded with his own weapon during a struggle among the three men.

The details of the case will be reviewed by a grand jury, which will determine whether charges will be filed.
